Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Filling
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Topping and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons whole cranberry sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Smoked paprika, for garnish
- Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preparation: Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a large saucepan and cover them with cold water, about one inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Eggs: Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and cover it with a lid. Let the eggs sit undisturbed in the hot water for 12 minutes to hard boil perfectly.
- Cool and Peel: Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to cool completely; this stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier. Peel the cooled eggs carefully.
- Prepare the Yolks: Slice the peeled eggs lengthwise in half. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
- Make the Filling: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix everything until you achieve a creamy, uniform consistency.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Gently fold in the finely chopped chives and parsley into the yolk mixture to add freshness and flavor.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, evenly distribute the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg white halves.
- Prepare Cranberry Topping: In a small bowl, combine the whole cranberry sauce with honey and gently stir to mix.
- Top and Garnish: Spoon a small dollop of the cranberry-honey mixture onto each deviled egg. Sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika and garnish with fresh parsley leaves for a festive finish.
- Serve: Arrange the finished deviled eggs on a serving platter and serve immediately or chill until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For easy peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old.
- Make the deviled eggs a few hours ahead and refrigerate until serving for best flavors.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to reduce fat content.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt and pepper.
- Serve chilled for optimal taste and texture.
